2023 Toyota Tacoma SR5

Stepping up to the next trim brings us to the SR5, which has a base MSRP of $30,390. Drivetrain and performance options remain essentially the same as the previous trim, but many other attractive features make this next-level trim option worth it.

New features not on the previous trim include a four-way power-adjustable driver’s seat that upgrades to a 10-way adjustable seat on the more robust V-6 engine. The SR5 also stands out with 16-inch dark gray alloy wheels and a leather-trimmed steering wheel.

2023 Toyota Tacoma Trail Special Edition

With an MSRP of $41,820, the Trail Special Edition adds many standard features the previous trims don’t have, making this model perfect if you want to venture off the beaten path. The previously upgraded 3.5-liter V-6 engine with 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque is standard on this trim, along with the 4WD drivetrain. Other standard features include a heritage-inspired grille with bronze lettering and similar bronze work on the 16-inch wheels.

With a 1.1-inch front suspension lift, 0.5-inch rear suspension lift, Goodyear Kevlar all-terrain tires, and a locking rear differential, this truck offers more capability and stability for navigating those tricky off-road trails near Tyler. A 120-volt bed outlet and lockable bed storage with insulation on the driver’s side add more convenience to your explorations, so you can power all your things and lock them away for peace of mind.

With the off-road adventurer in mind, the TRD Off-Road trim lets you put this truck to the test. Visually, you can enjoy the 16-inch machined contrast alloy wheels, color-keyed door handles, black over fenders, and chrome-finished rear bumper. But this truck is more than just its looks. With multiterrain select with crawl control, Bilstein shocks, and a locking rear differential, you can easily tackle the hills and climbs while going on your off-road adventures. Driver-assistance features, such as a blind-spot monitor system with rear cross-traffic alert, also make their way into this trim option.
